SLIM LINE
Electrical Sequence

SLC or SLE cubers are controlled by three thermostats:

· Ice thickness
· Harvest termination
· Bin level

All must be in position and operate properly for the


machine to function.

When the top row of cubes on the right side of the left
evaporator fill out large enough to contact the ice thickness
thermostat probe tube, the ice thickness thermostat
switches the machine into the harvest cycle.

The machine stays in the harvest cycle until the suction line
temperature warms up above 55oF. Then the harvest
termination thermodisk switches the machine back into the
freeze cycle.

If the bin thermostat opens it will shut the machine off


immediately.

SLE Cubers differ in their control system. While they also


operate from 3 thermostats, a complete cycle relay has
been added to keep the machine on until the end of the next
harvest cycle after the bin thermostat has sensed a bin full
condition.

- 112 -
CUBER Operational Sequence
CM, HC, MC, and AC cubers have similar operational
sequences. The length of the freeze cycle, and therefore the
cube size, is controlled by a thermostat sensing suction
line temperature. This thermostat is called the cube size
control. When it closes on temperature fall, it connects
power to a timer motor. The timer motor moves a cam
which has a microswitch actuator riding on it.

When the timer’s


microsw i tch is
pushed IN (by the
high part of the cam)
the micro- switch
connects power to
the r elay in the
circuit board. This is
the freeze cycle. Note: Cubes not actual size

When the timer has rotated the cam far enough so that the
low part of the cam releases the microswitch’s actuator,
power is cut from the coil of the relay and the unit goes into
the harvest cycle. It stays in the harvest cycle until the timer
pushes the microswitch actuator button in again. If the bin
control is still closed, the machine will begin another cycle.
If it is open, the ice machine will shut off.

CME1856, CME2006, CME2086 and SCE275.

Common with all commercial cubers is a need to initiate a


cube release cycle. The CM3 takes in water in a batch and
uses it to make ice; the measurement of how much of that
water has been used during a freeze cycle is used to stop
the freeze cycle and start the harvest cycle.

The harvest cycle continues until all ice has fallen. Ice
falling is sensed with a electric eye set that, in some units,
doubles as a bin control. The actual ice release time is used
to set the next cycle's harvest time.

Cube size (larger than shown on prior page) is controlled


by the float’s stem. It is not adjustable.

SCE170 Operational Sequence
This cuber’s freeze cycle is controlled by a cube size
thermostat. This thermostat senses suction line
temperature and closes on temperature fall.

When the cube size thermostat closes, the upper light on


the control board is switched on and an internal timer in the
control board finishes the cycle.

When harvest is initiated, the fan shuts off and the hot gas
and purge valves open. The SCE170 stays in harvest until
either the curtain opens or 7 minutes have passed.

When the curtain re-closes, the unit returns to a freeze


cycle. If the curtain remains open, the machine shuts off.

- 117 -
Superheat
In a mechanical refrigeration system, superheat is the
amount the evaporator outlet's temperature is warmer than
the temperature equivalent of the refrigerant's pressure in
the evaporator. Too much superheat is a symptom of low
charge or a TXV starving the evaporator, and likely
overheating the compressor. Too little is a symptom of a
TXV flooding through and overcooling the compressor.

Testing has shown that superheat is usually not a constant


number. It changes both during the freeze cycle of a cuber
and as the thermostatic expansion valve modulates or
hunts. An accurate measurement of superheat requires
several sample measurements of TXV bulb temperature
and suction pressure.

The recommended frequency of measuring is every 15


seconds. Start 5 minutes into a freeze cycle.

Set up a table like this to record the information.

and record it in row 3. Subtract row 3 from row 1 and enter
the data in the superheat row. Calculate the average
superheat.

minute's operation will give a more accurate reading.

Note: Thermometer attachment and insulation is critical in


obtaining accurate readings.

Hot Gas Valves
Design

Hot gas valves are selected by flow rate, coil voltage and
tubing size for each refrigeration system. Flow rates that
are too small will extend the harvest cycle, while flow rates
that are too large may cause excessive refrigerant flow to
the compressor. When replacing a complete valve do NOT
use anything other than the OEM valve specified for the
model in question. Rebuild kits are available for those
valves without seat damage.

Diagnosis

Most hot gas valves are pilot type valves: Activation lifts a
plunger that relieves pressure above the main valve disk
allowing the main valve disk to lift up, allowing full flow of
gas.

Valves can fail in three ways:

1. Do not open.

2. Leak through when closed (freeze cycle).

3. Do not open fully.

Do not open: When a valve does not open in the harvest


cycle the power to the valve coil should be the first thing to
check. If the proper voltage is present, check the coil for
continuity.

Leaks through when closed: This can be caused by


contamination on the seat of the valve. The degree of leak
through can vary greatly. A good valve will have some
temperature differential between its inlet and outlet during
freeze and frost will gradually build up on the tubing
leading from the evaporator inlet to the gas valve.

A leaking valve will cause the body of the valve to stay hot
during the freeze cycle.

Does not open fully: This can be caused by a stuck disk in


the valve. The coil pulls up the plunger and the valve opens,
but ice release is slow. Another symptom of this is very low
suction pressure during harvest and lack of heat at the
evaporator inlet.

Inlet Water Valves
Scotsman uses several different inlet water valves.

All have a screen on the inlet.

Inlet Screen

If the water flow into the cuber is below what is listed for the
model in question, the water valve’s screen may need to be
cleaned. On the valve pictured above, the inlet fitting will
have to be removed to get to the screen. A sheet metal
screw turned partially into the screen may be used to pull
the screen out.

Inlet water valves should not be operated without the


screen.

Cuber Capacity Check
1. Check cube size - is it correct?

· CM, CMS, CME, SCE275 type: Harvests in vertical strips


· AC, MC, HC, CS55, CS60 type: Full cubes with a dimple in
the bottom.
· SCE170 type: Harvests as a sheet - 3/16" bridge, 1/16"
dimple.

2. Check ice formation pattern - is it even?

· Must make ice over all freezing surfaces - nearly evenly.

3. Measure water temperature to ice machine.

4. Measure air temperature

· Air cooled check air temp into the coil


· Water cooled check ambient air

5. Operate the machine for 2 cycles and then measure the


total cycle time (freeze + harvest). Compare to the cycle
time in the manual or this book for the air and water
temperatures the ice machine is operating in.

· 90/70 = 90oF. air temp and 70oF. water temp.


· 70/50 = 70oF. air temp and 50oF. water temp.
— Temperatures above will cause longer cycles
— Temperatures below will cause shorter cycles
— Temperatures in between will result in cycle times
between 90/70 and 70/50 times.

6. If total cycle time is within a minute or two of what is listed


in the machines’s service manual for the temperatures the
unit is in, the capacity is normal.

Note: Harvest times set for winter operation (for those units
with adjustable harvest times) will extend the total cycle
beyond normal.

Sonar
Sonar is used as an ice level control on several Scotsman
Cubers:

Models using 4 position control:

· MCM860
· MCM1062
· MCM1462

Models using 2 position control

· CMS1002 · CME1002
· CMS1202 · CME1202
· CMS1402 · CME1402
· CME865

Sonar will shut the ice machine off when the ice level builds
up to the point where it is within the selected distance from
the transducer, located in the base of the ice machine.

Selection is controlled by a switch, either a 4 position rotary


switch or a 2 position rocker switch.

On the board is a 5 pin connection point for the switch. The


pins are numbered 1 thru 5. 5 is common. A connection
between a pin (1-4) and 5 determines the shut off point.

Pin Connections Shut-Off Distance Setting


1 (W) to 5 (BK) 9 ¾” to 12” Full
2 (R) to 5 (BK) 15” to 16” ¾
3 (BU) to 5 (BK) 22” to 23” ½ (or Partial)
4 (Y) to 5 (BK) 30” to 31” ¼

12-2402-01 is the harness for the two position switch.

The 4 position switch includes its harness.

CM3 Purge Adjustment
Adjust by using the push buttons on the Controller.

1. If the machine is on, push and hold the OFF button for
more than 3 seconds, then release it.

2. Push and hold the OFF button for more than 3 seconds
(just until all LEDs flash on) then release it. Do not hold it in
it too long.

3. Examine the green LEDs. They should have all flashed


once, then certain ones will have turned on to indicate
which purge level the machine is set at.

There are 5 levels of purge available:

· Maximum is when All 5 lights are ON. Use for extreme


water conditions. Note: This setting may extend the
Harvest cycle and reduce capacity.
· Heavy is when these 4 lights are ON: Freeze, Harvest,
Clean, Off. Use for moderate to severe water conditions.
This setting may extend the Harvest cycle and reduce
capacity.
· Standard (factory setting) is when these 3 lights are ON:
Harvest, Clean, Off. Use for typical water conditions.
· Moderate is when these 2 lights are ON: Clean, Off. This
is for good water conditions.
· Minimum is when this 1 light is ON: Off. For excellent
water conditions.

Adjust by pushing and releasing the Freeze button. Each


push and release increases the purge one level up to the
maximum, one more changes it to the minimum.

CM3 - Blue Controller
Diagnostic Code Recall

When the controller encounters a condition in the


operation of the ice machine that may be an indicator of a
problem, such as a very long freeze time, it displays a
problem code with the Diagnostic Indicator Lights.
However, if the user resets the controller to get back in
operation, the code is no longer displayed, and with the
black controllers, it could not be recalled.

That has changed with the blue controller. The last two
error codes, if any exist, can be recalled.

To recall the last error codes:

1. Switch the unit Off by holding the Off button in for longer
than 3 seconds.

2. Hold the Off button down again until the Purge Setting
indicators (Green Lights) are on.

3. Push and release the Harvest button.

· The last error code (if any) will be displayed and the purge
setting code will disappear.

4. Push the Harvest button again and the second-to-last


error code AND the Bin Full light will be displayed. Only two
error codes are available for display.

· If no error code exists, no code will be displayed and there


will be NO LIGHTS showing.
· Pushing Harvest again will toggle back to the last error
code and the bin full light will go out.
· Pushing it again will toggle back to the second-to-last error
code and also switch on the Bin Full light.

5. To return from the display of the last error, do nothing for


60 seconds or push and hold the Off button until the off light
glows.

After returning from the display of the last error (Off light is
on), the machine may be returned to the ice making process
by pushing and releasing the Freeze button.

CM3 Water Level Sensor
Diagnostics
Connection Water
#2 Level

1. Confirm that at least one light on the board is glowing. If


not, check the power and/or transformer. Push and hold the
Off button until the machine stops.

2. Unplug w ater sensor harness from controller


(connection #2).

3. Set the voltmeter to DC and use a scale low enough to


measure less than 40 Volts.

4. Measure the voltage between the top and the bottom pins
on the controller at connection #2 (the bottom is ground or
negative).

· Normal (unplugged): Black controllers - 24 to 30 VDC.


Blue controllers - .5 to 2 VDC

If the reading is low, check the power supply to the


controller or the controller itself. If it is roughly 24 - 30 V
proceed to the next step.

5. Reconnect the harness. Be SURE it is on properly and


has a good connection. To confirm, unplug the harness
from the water sensor and redo step #4 at the end of the
harness. Then plug the harness back onto the sensor.

- 140 -
Harness Connected Voltage (DC)

6. At the controller, measure the voltage between the top


and bottom pins on connection #2. This should be between
2 and 3.5 VDC. If it outside this range there is a problem in
the sensor and it should be changed out. If it is within this
range, proceed to the next step.

· Blue to Yellow (plugged in): Black controllers - 2 to 3.5


VDC. Blue controllers - .4 to 2 VDC.

7. Place negative voltmeter probe on the bottom terminal


(yellow wire). Place the other on the one just above it
(terminate freeze sender - white wire). Move the float
stem/stick up and down and note the voltage changes. It
should change from between about 5 VDC as the light is
blocked (higher) to a lower reading when un-blocked. If it
does not change, the sensor may be dirty or has failed.
Remove the dust cover from the sensor to clean it.

Note: The sensor must be properly assembled. The


terminals of the sensor must be in the lower right corner. If
they are in the upper left remove the sensor’s dust cover
and reverse the board.

Yellow (bottom) Blue controllers


Black controllers
White - Blocked 4 to 5 VDC about 5 VDC
White - Unblocked <1 VDC less than when
blocked

8. With the voltmeter probe still on the bottom terminal (of


#2), place the other one on the second pin from the top ( red
wire). Move the float stick up and down, note the changes
in voltage. It should react the same as in step 7.

Yellow (bottom) Yellow (Blue


Black controllers controllers
Red - Blocked 4 to 5 VDC about 5 VDC

Date Code Chart
Scotsman’s production date code is located in the serial
number. The code is month & year. From 1972 to May 2004
this date code system was used.

Month Code:
January = 07 July = 01
February = 08 August = 02
March = 09 September = 03
April = 10 October = 04
May = 11 November = 05
June = 12 December = 06

Year Code:
1972 = N 1984 = U 1996 = A
1973 = A 1985 = G 1997 = N
1974 = P 1986 = V 1998 = B
1975 = B 1987 = H 1999 = P
1976 = Q 1988 = W 2000 = C
1977 = C 1989 = J 2001 = R
1978 = R 1990 = X 2002 = D
1979 = D 1991 = K 2003 = S
1980 = S 1992 = Y 2004 = E
1981 = E 1993 = L 2005-=T
1982 = T 1994 = Z 2006 = F
1983 = F 1995 = M 2007 = U

For example, if a serial number is 999999-07Y, the 07Y is the


date code (January 1992).

Machines manufactured after May 2004 use a different


code:

2 digit Year, 2 digit Month, mfg site ID, six numbers

Example: 04061320998877
0406 = Manufactured June, 2004

CM3 Controller Revision (3 pages)
Rev 9 controllers (use began 2/05) provide a new diagnostic
procedure that checks two functions of the controller:

1. In sequence, all the controller's relays are switched on


for a certain time to confirm that power is going to the
component and that the component is operating.

2. At the end of that test the water level sensor is checked.


The green light display on the controller changes as the
float stem is manually moved up and down in the sensor.

Component Test Sequence:

1. Water inlet valve test. Verifies that the water inlet


solenoid valve opens and water fills the sump. Some water
may overflow into the bin.

2. Water Pump test. With water in the sump from the prior
test, the pump starts and circulates water.

3. Purge valve test. Purge valve opens to discharge water.


No effect on overflow models.

4. Compressor test. Compressor starts, hot gas valve open


for short time.

5. Harvest bypass valve test. Compressor on, check valve


remote systems verify that the harvest by-pass valve
opens.

6. All off test. Verifies that the relays open.

7. Hot gas valve test. Verifies that the hot gas valve opens.

8. Fan motor test. The fan motor is switched on to verify its


operation.

To start the diagnostic process

1. Push and hold the off button until the unit shuts off.

2. Push and hold the off button again until the Purge
indicator lights (green lights) switch on.

3. Push and hold the clean button until the bin full light
starts to blink, that starts the diagnostic. The test will begin
and end automatically.

Component Test

If all the components operate as listed below, the controller


passed the test. If a component does not operate when it
should, check its electrical connection.

Check for open circuit or physical damage. If OK, refer to


the product’s wiring diagram and repeat the test with a
voltmeter at the controller end of the harness.

Check with one voltmeter lead on the proper terminal and


the other to ground. If no voltage is present during the
suspect component’s turn in the second test, the controller
needs to be replaced. If there is voltage at the controller end
but none at the component, the harness needs to be
replaced.

Test Seconds On Air or Water Cooled Testing

1 30 Water inlet valve

2 10 Water Pump

3 10 Pump, Hot gas valve (and purge valve when


used)

4 5 Hot gas valve, compressor

5 15 Compressor

6 5 None

7 10 Hot gas valve

8 5 or 10 Fan motor (10 secs)

Notes:

· Remote model's fan motors cycle with compressors


· Check Valve Remote models are the CME456R,
CME1056R, CME1356R, CME1656R and the CME2006R.
Same results as shown, except for tests 5 and 8 (add
harvest bypass valve - delete non-remote fan motor)
· Pump Down Remote models are the CME506R,
CME656R and the CME806R. Same results as shown,
except for tests 3 (no purge valve), 4 (add liquid line
valve), 5 and 8 (add liquid line valve - delete fan motor)
· Eclipse models are the CME686, CME810, CME1386,
CME1686 and the CME2086. Only tests 1, 2, and 4 are
the same as shown. Substitute all refrigeration solenoid
valves for hot gas valve in other tests.
· Water cooled and Eclipse models in test 8 have nothing
operating.

Water Level Sensor Test Results:

· If the lights change as listed in column two, the system has


passed the test.
· If the test failed, perform the jumper test in column three. If
that test results in the lights on as listed in column two, the
controller is OK but the sensor or harness needs to be
replaced. The harness can be checked the same way by
unplugging the connection at the sensor and testing again.
· If the lights do not glow as indicated after the jumper test,
the controller has failed and needs to be replaced.
